NE_SET_REQUEST_FLAG(3)        neon API reference        NE_SET_REQUEST_FLAG(3)

NAME
       ne_set_request_flag, ne_get_request_flag - set and retrieve per-request
       flags

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ne_request.h>

       void ne_set_request_flag(ne_request *req, ne_request_flag flag,
                                int value);

       int ne_get_request_flag(ne_request *req, ne_request_flag flag);

DESCRIPTION
       The ne_set_request_flag function enables or disables a per-request
       flag. Passing a non-zero value argument enables the flag, and zero
       disables it.

       The following flags are defined:

       NE_REQFLAG_EXPECT100
           enable this flag to use the "Expect: 100-continue" feature of
           HTTP/1.1, which allows the server to process request headers
           without reading the entire request body. This saves time and
           bandwidth if the server gives an authentication challenge
           (requiring the request to be resent), but has interoperability
           problems with some older servers.

       NE_REQFLAG_IDEMPOTENT
           disable this flag if the request uses a non-idempotent method such
           as POST

RETURN VALUE
       The ne_get_request_flag function returns zero if a flag is disabled,
       less than zero if the flag is not supported, or greater than zero if
       the flag is enabled.

SEE ALSO
       ne_request_create.
